Y2K this, Y2K that — we’ve all grown a little tired of it, haven’t we? So, the fashion train has rolled a decade back, and honestly, we’re not mad about it. The revival of retro fashion was set in motion right at the start of the year (hello, polka dots), so spotting 90s accessories everywhere wasn’t exactly a shock — more like a manifestation that came true.

What are 90s accessories all about, you ask? It’s hard to pin down — there is sleek minimalism, but also an underrated, party-perfect slay. There’s a sartorial seal, but also a full dose of sporty. And that’s the beauty of it: this comeback caters to all. So here you go — eight 90s accessory trends you need to make room for!

Now that East-West bags (basically a cousin of the iconic baguette) are everywhere, it goes without saying that baguette bags themselves aren’t far behind. Those rectangulary round silhouettes have firmly cemented their place as a fashion-set favourite. Personally, I’ve got my eye on this one from The Tan Clan. With its multicoloured beaded exterior, it’s the kind of an investment piece you’ll find yourself reaching for, no matter the occasion.

They’ve become a go-to for travel enthusiasts due to the easy access and added safety they offer, especially while hiking or on the move. But their utility doesn’t stop there. The way they quickly upgrade a casual fit deserves a round of applause too.

Mules — especially the kitten-heeled kind — have been having a serious moment. Everyone I know (and the people they know) seems to be wearing them. From Sex and the City to Friends, these '90s icons had their fair share of screen time in pop culture and it looks like they are back for some more. Sitting somewhere between Mary Janes and ballet flats, mules are making a well-deserved comeback.

As much as chunky chokers have made their way back into jewellery drawers, long necklaces are also having a major moment — and somehow, the layered combo has everyone falling back in love with the look. Most people you see right now on Instagram or in the streets has layered neckpieces. Big credit goes to Gen Z TikTokers, who’ve fully embraced this throwback trend and served up fresh takes on how to style it.

Armour jewellery is back — no surprise there — but what did catch me off guard was the rise of arm cuffs. Their popularity has been steadily growing, and once I saw even my most fashion-forward friends styling them, there was no turning back. From dramatic to minimal, they come in endless styles, and I’ve especially got my eye on this one from Bling Queen!

And no, not the absolute mini ones we wore as kids, but those micro-to-medium floral claw clips that have clawed their way back into the streets. Just scroll through social media, and I'm sure you'll spot one.
